well done on completing your 1st Argus!  It's always the toughest and most stress-inducing.  Do it again next year  :dop: It was a beautiful day.  Came in at 3:58, really had to work hard the final 10km to slip in under 4

Everyone ready for Sunday??

My 3rd (sort of, my 2nd was the 47km shortened mess last year), starting at 7:02 Looking forward to a nice weekend in CT

For gold there is no contest, buy the Exchange Traded Note (JSE ticker GLD) If you don't have a JSE trading account you can buy it from them directly http://etfcib.absa.co.za/Products/Exchange%20Traded%20Funds/Commodities/NewGold/Pages/default.aspx Linked directly to the price of gold...

Isn't real leather furniture a whole lot cheaper in SA than anywhere else?  My friends who moved to the UK complain that they can't afford real leather any longer

Share price has zero to do with relative value, a company can choose how many shares to have in issue.  Woolworths' equity value is R95billion, Mr Price R54billion. IKEA have released comment on this I believe, back in 2010.  Apparently the South African market is too far removed and way too...

been using faxfx.net for our office since 2011, works a charm including sending faxes overseas Happy to report I've been using it less and less every year - the fax is truly on its last legs

fantastic idea, but ridiculously expensive 3.95% of the transaction value, excluding shipping!

A bit late to wade in here, but RMI hold just under 90% of Outsurance, with only 25% of Discovery.  Models are completely different, people are different.  The 25% Discovery holding is a legacy from the startup of the business in 1992, when RMBH gave Adrian Gore and his team a medical aid they...

Nope, I've never sold anything on Avsa

Rodney please don't slow down now!  ;D Familiarity breeds contempt... it's great to get to know people over time, but there are always people who will use this trust to push the boundaries of what's reasonable (dibs, borrowing, looking for a ridiculous deal because you "owe" them somehow) That...

Your reaction to the Steers going Halaal is perhaps the simplest solution.  I can't believe these businesses are going Halaal for anything other than economic reasons.  Perhaps the belief is that going Halaal will attract more (observant) Muslim customers while the non-Muslim customers won't...

They never left, owls actually do pretty well in the leafy Joburg suburbs!  I've been surprised by a few large ones in my neighborhood

Wow thanks didn't know that.  Assuming the signature is as unique as the RF ID tags... I'm guessing this system is a whole lot more secure than conventional radio transmitters

I live in a small complex in Sandton, only 32 units.  Has electric fences and a security gate. We used to have 24 hour security with access control.  An outside contractor was used for the guards and they were cycled out every three months or so.  While the area to protect is small and should...

This annoys me too!  While in some cases I can understand quoting the cost price (even in US$) is relevant, in many instances it seems to be disingenuous and misleading. If the item is still being sold new the current replacement cost is an input for determining the current value, but what does...

They are sticking exactly to the Citypower schedule in my Joburg neighborhood too.  Elsewhere in Joburg they had a separate issue unrelated to load shedding with a base station, some people were without power for 36 hours. They are scheduled 4.5 hours at a time, but they usually cut a few...

I completely agree that the subjective nature of hi-fi is going to lead to some divergence... and the additional major distortion in the magazines and websites has to do with their reason for existing, which is to generate revenue.  Mildly successful publications will develop relationships with...

It's been 4 months, is your ear healing up?

"Ear-shattering BASS (Only thing you want)" So funny and so accurate!!  :BWAHAHAH:
